B) $ 3\cdot 2^{3} $

C) $ 2^{2}\cdot 3^{7} $

D) $ 2^{5}\cdot 3^{10}\cdot 5\cdot 7 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • Given, $ P=2^{3}\times 3^{10}\times 5 $ $ Q=2^{5}\times 3\times 7 $ [ $ \because 2^{3} $ and 3 is common factor to both P and O]

$ \therefore $ $ HCF=2^{3}\times 3 $
